Prediction: 0-1

Sheffield Wednesday

Following three straight defeats to the likes of Cardiff City, Hull City and Middlesbrough, Burton Albion gave fans some cheer at the weekend, with the team beating Birmingham City at their Pirelli Stadium. Burton escaped the relegation zone, but they are only one point clear of bottom three ahead of Saturday’s football match against Sheffield Wednesday. Following back-to-back draws with the likes of QPR and Sunderland, the Owls recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage and, no doubt, they regained a much-needed confidence. Sheffield Wednesday are more of a team than Burton Albion and despite the fact that Carlos Carvalhal’s men are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on the away team this time out. Steven Fletcher scored the winner against Fulham and we predict that he is going to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders.
